Physiotherapy + Wellness

An integrative approach to pain relief.

We are a chronic pain clinic providing evidence-based care for a wellness focussed clientele. Our physiotherapists, naturopathic doctors, massage therapists and acupuncturists have come together to practice within a wellness focussed, technology-friendly, and research-based environment.

Our Approach

Patient Centered

We don't treat diagnoses. We treat patients with diagnoses.

We know there are many aspects of life affected by coping with and recovering from chronic pain. We aim to treat you, the patient, as a whole person with respect and modify as needed to suit your progress and individual needs.

Root Cause Focussed

While we can certainly help you with pain relief, why stop there?

Especially with chronic conditions, the way to healing is correcting what started your symptoms in the first place. We aim to identify and resolve the root cause of your condition, so that it doesn't come back.

Restorative

We don't believe in band-aid solutions.

Always, we aim to relieve pain and restore proper function of your body, tissues, and cells.

In this way, you don't just heal, you build optimal health!

Evidence Based

Just in case you were wondering... we base our recommendations on the latest research and clinical observations.

Our practitioners are highly trained in their respective areas, and are committed to continuing education in order to help you heal faster and stronger.

The First Clinic to Bring Bioflex Lasers to St. John’s

We are particularly proud to have been the first clinic in the city to offer low intensity laser therapy to our clients. With over 8 years of experience using our Bioflex laser systems, we provide drug-free pain relief for a variety of pain conditions.

Low intensity laser therapy (LILT) is the use of red and infrared light to activate and enhance the body’s natural healing process. It is a key therapy used in conjunction with other healing methods recommended by our practitioners.

The finely calibrated light source is placed in contact with the skin, allowing the light to penetrate tissue. Your cells transform the light energy into biochemical energy which helps restore normal cellular function. This means faster healing from pain and drug free treatment!

When incorporated into your comprehensive treatment plan, laser technology stimulates immune function, improves quality of sleep, and provides drug-free pain relief. Recent advances and research into light therapy offer treatment for concussions, fertility, and trauma to name a few...

Who We Are

Avalon Laser Health is a chronic pain clinic in St. John's, NL providing evidence-based care for a wellness focussed clientele.

Founded in 2009 by sisters Estelle Barry, PT and Clare Barry, M.Ed.

When the sisters started, they simply wanted to bring the healing power of Bioflex lasers to residents of St. John’s within a physiotherapy environment for acute injuries...

Hot Clinic For Those In-The-Know

Word about our lasers spread quickly. With the documented ability to accelerate normal healing times, jumpstart a stalled healing process, and provide drug-free pain relief, we started attracting attention from local health professionals. The clinic has since grown to incorporate several professions and therapies.

Now, we strive to offer the most effective treatment measures to support both pain relief and wellness throughout all stages of life.
